Better
Felix Jaehn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see that you clipped on my clothes
Stuff that I left in your drawers when I
Thought that I was done
Heard she moves in in a month
And that makes me feel that I want you back
What's up with that?

Why do you think we think we know what would happen?
Felt it a hundred times
We got the perfect eyes, eh eh
What if she asked would you tell her the truth or
Say that the fault was mine?
You can't make up your mind
Same thing again

Who's gonna love you better?
Who's gonna be me now?
Can she live with your flaws
In the ruins of ours?
Who's gonna love you better?
Who's gonna face your doubts?
Can she handle your thoughts
When you think about us? And I know you do

And I know you do, I do it too
And I know you do, I do it too

I kept all the notes that you wrote
Hid them so no one would know the truth
I'm missng you
And that's why I'm calling you just to hang up
Hearing your voice is enough for me
Enough for me

Why do you think we think we know what would happen?
Felt it a hundred times
We got the perfect eyes, eh eh
What if she asked would you tell her the truth or
Say that the fault was mine?
Well, you can't make up your mind
Same thing again

Who's gonna love you better?
Who's gonna be me now?
Can she live with your flaws
In the ruins of ours? Ah
Who's gonna love you better?
And who's gonna face your doubts?
Can she handle your thoughts
When you think about us? And I know you do

And I know you do, I do it too
And I know you do, I do it too

Thought that at least we would argue
Thought that you'd put up a fight
But you didn't, and I didn't fight for us, now
Who's gonna love you better?
Who's gonna love you better?

Who's gonna love you better?
Who's gonna be me now?
Can she live with your flaws
In the ruins of ours? Eh




Who's gonna love you better?
Who's gonna love you better?

Overall Meaning

However, the following lines reveal that the former partner is moving in with someone else in a month, making the singer feel that they want their former partner back. The chorus poses the question of who can love the singer's former partner better than they did and if the new partner can handle their doubts and thoughts about their past relationship.


The lyrics express the confusion and mixed emotions that come with a breakup, questioning whether they could have done things differently and whether they truly made the right decision. The song's repetition of the chorus emphasizes the sense of longing for a lost love and the fear that it cannot be replaced. It highlights the fear that someone else will not be able to love the individual better than their former partner did and that their flaws will ruin any new relationship.

Hello, bye bye
Don't need you with me tonight
All good, all fine
My heart is all mine
No games, no lies
Put all that shit to the side

The things that I do, boy, you could never
'Cause at the end of the day, I do it better
The thing that I got, got it forever
Touching my dreams, I'm in the center
'Cause at the end of the day, I do it better

I like the feeling that I feel when I'm next to you
But when I'm sleeping by myself, yeah, I see it through
From start to finish, I know I didn't come to lose
'Cause at the end of the day, I do it better

'Cause at the end of the day, I do it better
'Cause at the end of the day, I do it better

Hello, bye bye
Don't need you with me tonight
All good, I'm fine
My heart is all mine
Hello, bye bye
Don't need you with me tonight
I'm good, I'm fine
My heart is all mine

All day, all night
This how I'm spending my time
No tears, no fights
No one to make me cry
Hello, bye bye
Thank you for showing me why

I like the feeling that I feel when I'm next to you
But when I'm sleeping by myself, yeah, I see it through
From start to finish, I know I didn't come to lose
'Cause at the end of the day, I do it better

'Cause at the end of the day, I do it better
'Cause at the end of the day, I do it better

Hello, bye bye
Don't need you with me tonight
All good, I'm fine
My heart is all mine
Hello, bye bye
Don't need you with me tonight
I'm good, I'm fine
My heart is all mine

I do I better
(I do it better, I do it better, I do it better)
(I do it better, I do it better)
'Cause at the end of the day, I do it better
